TOOL, TIPS, TECHNIQUES, one last toy! LOL

Don't be afraid.. LOL. It say this because I was!!! It's the Crop-A-Dile and it is soo easy even a caveman can do it. No offense to any cavemen or woman out there..LOL. Anyway, First, you hole punch. On the outsides are the hole punches. Big and small. you line it up like any other hole punch on your whatev and squeeeeeeze. Second, you drop the eyelet in the hole you just made. You can see my elelets in my pink case on the side of the COD. Third, you set your cube dials that are in the center of the COD, then stick your item with the eyelet you dropped in, line it up betwen the cubes and squeeeeeeeze.

That's it.. eyelet is set,, run your ribbon, thread, twine, etc. right on through.. easssssy peeeeaassy!! This is a VERY useful tool. They have all kinds of shaped eyelets, from stars, to pumpkins to cirlces..you name it. Borrow one from a friend if he/she's got one and give it a squeeeeze!! You'll be hooked!
